Venice and Carnevale







I had the best time in Venice! We went to Murano and bought Murano glass. When we got back to Venice, we got caught in Carnevale in St. Mark's square. There were many flying lions there symbolizing Venice. Carnevale is kind of like Mardi Gras, but normal people put on costumes and other people take their pictures with them. Kids dress up, put on masks, spray silly string, and sprinkle confetti on the ground. There were raptors like in a parade, except they were by themselves. Then when we were all worn out, we got gelato and headed back to our hotel.

  3. I know you are having a great time. Hope your weather has been fantastic too. Pa and I went for a ride in the golf cart yesterday. Pa said it was not as exciting as going with Cade or Carson! Love, Mimi
